So now, starring Paula Winslow, Virginia Gregg and Irene Tedro here is tonight. Suspense play, Goodbye Miss Lizzie Borden. My purse. Oh, there it is.
Oh dear, I know I've forgotten something. Something. Is that everything, ma'am? Huh? Oh, yes. Adjust the two suitcases. What are you doing with the trunk expressmen? There isn't any trunk. Only the two bags. I'm only going for a short visit.
It's my trunk, Miss Emma. I'm leaving. Oh Maggie. It's all right, expressmen. You can take the trunk out. Yes, ma'am. Maggie, you can't help it. I'm sorry. I really am, but I can't stand it another minute.
Oh dear, they all leave. They always do. What are we going... I'm sorry, Miss Emma. I've only stayed this long for your sake. I couldn't bear to leave you alone with... with her. Thank you, Maggie.
Now you'll be gone off on your little vacation and she'll have somebody else in the kitchen maybe before you come back. Oh dear, Maggie. What shall we do? What are we going to do? I can't stand it, Miss Emma. I never feel alone in this house.
I'm cleaning about, thinking no evil, and then I get a shiver between my shoulder blades, and I turn around and there she is, perfectly still just looking at me. With that look she's had since the trial.
More in her body can stand, and I'm leaving. I know, Maggie. She's always spying. She knows every move I make. I know. Never a party, no callers, not a friend to drop in of an evening.
